IP address saturation [World]

[VirusType2]

"This study shows how the Internet is distributed across the entire world, as it can be appreciated at a first sight, North America and Europe concentrate the two largest groups of Internet assets with a total share of 22.5% for Europe and doubling this number 55.9% for North America.

Therefore it can be said that both regions represent a total 77.4% of the global Internet structure having Asia being the next one in the list with a share of 14%. The image bellow uses colored dots to represent the distribution and is expressed in number of IP addresses per dot."

Probably not worth lengthy discussion, but I thought it was interesting.

It's not exactly what I expected. What do you think?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

kinda thought US would be quite less

 

[Kamikazie]

South east roxxers.

That is all

 

[Bad^Hat]

Yay lower north island! We have more than 500 people with internet... apparently.

 

[Darkside55]

There are no IP addresses in Africa, only AIDs.

AIDs.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

surprised theres some in middle of sahara.

 

[VirusType2]

More saturated in the US, and less saturated in Canada than I expected.

I also expected a higher percentage of internet users from China.

 

[Kula Meenur]

Reckon the east side of Aussieland is gonna sink under wieght of the ISP's :O

 

[Phobie]

I like how you can't see the UK

 

[DEATHMASTER]

only part of US u see is Palinland.
Sorry I don't intend to diss the Inuits like that, I mean Alaska.

 

[Phobie]

lol africa

 

[Kula Meenur]

I like how you can't see the UK

Holy shit you can't!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

nor NZ, nor JP, nor continental US (+ hawaii, didn't see that comin)

 

[Kula Meenur]

^indeed D:


Lol at the amount of ISP's in the USSR's badlands

 

[soulslicer]

That dot in the corner, in Antarctica!

 

[Vegeta897]

So according to the key on that map, the smallest dot means <10, and yet the second smallest dot also means <10

This map is clearly untrustworthy and I refuse to believe a word!

 

[VirusType2]

Probably means more like 1-5. It's so insignificant that it's hard to say exactly.

Inaccurate within a degree of error (which could very well be + or - 10), basically.

 

[Vegeta897]

I think you're missing the point. Why have two dots that represent the exact same damn thing.

 

[VirusType2]

The larger one represents a larger area on the map.

 

[Vegeta897]

Err... I don't think the size of the dot actually means the area it covers.

Otherwise it'd make even less sense for the smallest dot to be last, because that would mean a higher density.

 

[VirusType2]

or because >1000 people spread was better represented by the large dot. Look, I can't say for certain. It's a computer program made by humans. Just pretend they are pinballs.

 

[Vegeta897]

You're a pinball.

 

[ailevation]

mm, i'm curious about those little dots scattered throughout the ocean.. I wonder what islands those are.

and i'm pretty ashamed that the US makes a huge portion of the internet, but most of our broadband connections are slow as hell.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Does that take into account of NAT networks? Because apparently India has NAT within a NAT, within a NAT

 

[Unfocused]

I like how you can't see the UK

You can't see Europe in general.

 

[kazsymonds]

That dot in the corner, in Antarctica!

I was just going to say that!

Ping his ass!

EDIT: The little islands include christmas island i think (Goatse!)

 

[Remus]

That dot in the corner, in Antarctica!

Oh, that's just the thing enjoying some internets.

 

[VirusType2]

What about a UWW. Universe Wide Web. interplanetary wireless transmissions. Imagine the lag on that shit.

"dude, I won light years ago."

 

[Raziaar]

Poor Africa

And man, I can't believe there is internet access on these islands!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerguelen_Islands

But I guess it's a research island, so that makes sense.

 

[Eejit]

"dude, I won light years ago."

Light year is distance not time

Where did Tazmania go?

Light year is distance not time

Well, earth's orbit is about 584,020,178 miles when it goes around the sun each year.

One light year is 5,874,589,924,204 miles long I think.

So by my calculations, he won about 10,058 years ago if he won one light year ago. If he won around five light years ago he would have won about 50,290 years ago.

I'll assume it's somewhere in the middle.


But then again, that's only in reference to the orbit of earth around the sun, not the distance between earth and some fictional alien planet or far flung human outpost. I didn't read his post well enough, just your response to it.

Looks pretty similar to a map showing the where light is at night time in the World.

 

[VirusType2]

lol ^

I noticed it too. And pretty similar to where you find food.

 

[kupocake]

That dot in the corner, in Antarctica!

That's JC Denton's Ice Palace.

 

[Stigmata]

We'll be fine once IPv6 becomes the new standard.

 

[Seppo]

I was surprised at how many dots there are in Africa.

 

[VirusType2]

That's how you know where the white people live.

[Tyguy]

New England for the win

 

[nurizeko]

It's not exactly what I expected. What do you think?

Actually thats pretty spot on for me.

It follows the most developed parts of the world downwards.


Nice to see internet usage is an accurate measurement of prosperity and development.

I wonder how many internet capable programs will become broken once IPv6 is the new standard.
